📝 Preparation Steps
1
Marinade
2
In a bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients. This can be done in advance. Cover and chill until ready to use.
3
Thoroughly dry cold ahi tuna steaks with paper towels and place in a glass or ceramic dish. Pour marinade over the fish, turning to coat well throughout. Cover tightly and chill several hours, or up to overnight. Turn fish over at least once in the middle of marinade time.
4
Sear
5
Heat 3 TB oil in a large heavy skillet until oil is smoking. Sear ahi steaks 1 1/⏱️ 2 minutes per side on high heat, taking care to flip carefully with a flat, steel spatula. (If your tuna is less than 1 1/2 inches thick, sear for only ⏱️ 1 minute per side.)
6
Rest/Cool
7
Transfer seared ahi to a large cutting board and let rest/cool ⏱️ 10 minutes. Use a very sharp (serrated works well) knife to slice thinly across the grain.
8
Serve chilled or at room temp. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and cilantro or green onions, if desired. Drizzle with Sriracha mayo if desired.
